Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and a former Obama official

our channel continue to grow. David Axelrod, who is one of the more sober members of the Democrat
0:25
party, appeared on CNN and he did not do the whole company line of everything's going great
0:32
nothing to see here, don't worry about anything. He actually said that Trump appealing or attempting
0:38
to appeal to black voters right now is significantly dangerous to Obama. I'm sorry
0:44
not Obama, Biden. I get him confused, it's so easy, not certain who's running the White House
0:50
He said it's a significant concern to Biden because Trump actually could make headway here
0:56
especially in states like Michigan, where Biden is suffering tremendously with a lot of voters
1:04
especially black males are disenchanted with Joe Biden. So you factor that in
1:11
you know, and then you see if Trump picks a running mate like say Tim Scott, who as you guys know
1:16
I'm all in favor of, that's my guy. So if he picks Tim Scott, man, that could deal a significant
1:24
blow and when you get into swing states like Michigan, like Wisconsin, like Pennsylvania
1:29
the states that are close, the states that decide the elections, a small percentage of the black
1:34
vote moving from Biden to Trump, it's game over. And Axelrod is right to be concerned and he said
1:41
Biden should be concerned and I want you to watch this video and then give me your thoughts on it
1:46
so please remember to like, comment, share and subscribe. It does really help us out

Let's look ahead to the potential general election matchup. Donald Trump this weekend
2:02
he spoke to a gathering of black conservatives in South Carolina, making an appeal to black voters and I'm gonna play what was part of his pitch. Listen to this, Ax
2:10
We've all seen the mugshot and you know who embraced it more than anybody else? The black
2:18
population. And that's just a portion of what he said. He was talking about his legal troubles
2:24
the mugshot, regardless of if that was scripted or was a Trump off the cuff and regardless of how it
2:31
was received. This fits with his attempt to try to appeal to black men specifically. Should this
2:40
be a legitimate concern for the Biden campaign? I think it should. Look, he's polling, you know
2:44
20, 21% among African American voters here. Biden got 88% of that vote back in 2020 and this is
2:54
going to be a marginal race. So this is a concern. And yes, black men and particularly younger black
3:00
men are the ones that are drifting away. Some may vote for Trump, some may not vote at all. And
3:07
this has to be a concern for the Biden campaign. Trump knows that and by the way, I think it may
3:14
impact on his vice presidential choice. And you know, there's a lot of talk about Tim Scott as a
3:20
vice presidential candidate. I think if he picks Tim Scott, it's partly because he recognizes this
3:26
would be helpful in kind of sealing in that portion of the African American vote that he now
3:32
has. Yeah. I mean, kind of taking it full circle, it's the not even just..
